Organofluorine chemistry is an area of tremendous expansion. 1 The field of applications is
impressively wide in scope and has the potential to concern all fields of society. Indeed …

Hydrogenation is a core technology in chemical synthesis. High rates and selectivities are
attainable only by the coordination of structurally well‐designed catalysts and suitable …

Very few fields in chemistry have shown such a considerable interest as fluoroorganic
chemistry. Fluorine is perhaps the element that has experienced the greatest recent interest …

The use of chiral nonracemic onium salts and crown ethers as effective phase‐transfer
catalysts have been studied intensively primarily for enantioselective carbon–carbon or …

Fluorine has come to be recognized as a key element in materials science: in heat‐transfer
agents, liquid crystals, dyes, surfactants, plastics, elastomers, membranes, and other …

Significance: Fluorinated molecules are very important in medicinal, agricultural and
materials science. This report is the first asymmetric fluorination of aldehydes with a simple …

The synthesis of organofluorine compounds has attracted explosive interest in recent years
due to the anomalous physical properties and decreased availability of these compounds …

Cinchona alkaloid catalysts in combination with air‐and moisture‐stable N‐
trifluoromethylthiophthalimide as electrophilic SCF3 source enabled the catalytic …

Isolated and crystallized [Ti (TADDOLato)] complexes were used as catalysts for the first
catalytic enantioselective (up to 90% ee) C− F bond‐forming reaction, the fluorination of β …

Over the last three decades, my engagement in “fluorine chemistry” has evolved
substantially because of the multidisciplinary nature of the research programs. I began my …
